With Rilling and his Gächinger Kantorei he appeared at the 70th birthday concert in 2003 and recorded Bach's Mass in B minor and Christmas Oratorio and Britten's War Requiem, among others.

In 2009, he was awarded the Rheingau Musikpreis of the Rheingau Musik Festival. He appeared at the festival in 2010 with Gerold Huber to celebrate Gustav Mahler's 150th birthday, singing Sieben Lieder aus letzter Zeit (Seven Songs of Latter Days) and from Das Lied von der Erde the movements Der Einsame im Herbst (The lonely one in Autumn) and Der Abschied (The Farewell). In 2011 they performed the composer's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, Des Knaben Wunderhorn and Kindertotenlieder.
